In their contemporary showroom in Winterthur – well-known across the region for its top-quality HiFi, multi-room systems and home cinemas – owners Thomas and Irene Flammer introduce me to the numerous models. Products by top brands such as Devialet, Piega, Sonus Faber and others can be tried out and compared there and then. The design of the brand-new Devialet Gold Phantom puts me straight under its spell, and its sound is fascinating. The technology, some of which has been improved even further, and the enhanced performance from its 4,500 Watts make it superior to all its predecessors. The connection to a tablet or smartphone is as easy as pie and it’s done with a touch of humour too: when the loudspeaker is recognised on connection, it confirms this by moving the two side subwoofers. The high-quality coaxial mid-high range system built in at the front produces a particularly uniform sound. Its heavy solid construction, a sign of its superb quality, builds up an enormous pressure within that can then really be felt from outside. With the Devialet Dialog accessories, up to 24 Phantom loudspeakers can be connected and synchronised to enable your music experience to be heard all over the house. The entire loudspeaker network can be controlled with the remote control or with the app. And to complete the product range, there are some surprising accessories. It’s clear that the Gold Phantom from this French company, which produces all its equipment in France, is currently the best on the market. The product and the advice from voice70 have convinced me: this is the centre for sophisticated music lovers.
